Quick Appliance Fixes
Appliance repair experts say that up to 25 percent of repair calls
have simple solutions. Try these fixes before calling the appliance
repair service.
Refrigerator is not cold
. If you can’t get the refrigerator cold
enough by lowering the setting, try looking under it. You probably
have dirty condenser coils. Unplug the fridge, remove the grill and
vacuum the coils to remove dirt and dust.
Dishwasher is not running
. The float switch inside the
dishwasher tells it when enough water has entered and when to
begin washing. See if the switch is jammed in the up position
from objects like forks.
Weak vacuum suction
. If cleaning the filters and bags doesn’t
help, check the hose for an obstruction. Drop a coin in one end
and if it doesn’t come out, try to dislodge the debris with a
broomstick.
